3-D Printers One Step Further

Submitted by Anthony Andros on June 10th, 11:59am

The library is curious to know who out there is interested in using a 3-D printer. Leave a comment on this blog post & let us know!
Students at UC-Berkeley have created a vending machine that aims to 'democratize' 3D printing: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33809_7-57586528

I think it would be a great learning tool for the schools in the area. They could have competitions to see who could make the "coolest thing" (great for any budding engineers out there!). I would love to see a demonstration, and maybe try my hand out at designing something too.
